\score { <<

\addlyrics {
 One two three
 \footnote #"*" #'(1 . 1) #'LyricText #"The note" \default
 four
}
>> 
}

I'm not sure why \default needs to be used here. My guess is that Lilypond does 
not recognize "four" as a music expression, so you have to use \default, which 
links up the footnote with the column of music in which "four" resides.
